1275 41st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story residential building at 1275 41st Street in Borough Park, owned by Issac Shouela, has experienced several notable incidents and ongoing compliance issues since 2018. Most prominently, there is a recurring pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive open violations between 2021 and 2024, indicating a possible persistent lapse in compliance with health and safety regulations.

The building underwent significant work in 2019-2020, including multiple permits issued for construction activity, but this period was marked by serious enforcement actions. On March 12, 2020, multiple stop work orders were issued, and a Partial Stop Work Order was placed due to concerns about the construction superintendent's withdrawal.

Earlier, in 2019, there were complaints and violations regarding construction safety compliance and an unlicensed activity investigation, though one demolition-related complaint resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. An Environmental Control Board violation was also issued in September 2019 regarding the failure to provide a temporary construction fence during active demolition work, though this violation was marked as resolved with no penalties incurred. While the building's age (built in 1901) and history of construction activity are worth noting, particularly concerning safety and maintenance matters, the most pressing current concern appears to be the ongoing bedbug reporting violations that have persisted for several years.
